While I agree with Cops having cameras, I dont think it should be a federal law or regulation. States and counties should make that call

nailed. everyone else is missing this key point. it doesnt matter, if it is a good law, or not. The feds shouldnt (arent) be able to make such law, its a local decision.

It has to be done at the federal level. what state or local politician is going to want to make enemies of there police force? The lack of spine at the state and local level is the reason Police forces are so screwed up now.

Oh, and they are certainly able to make such a law.

Well its already being done at the local level. So you're wrong on that point.
